Ranger is a job that represents hunters, scouts, trappers, and assassins who excel at exploring the fringes of civilization and hunting down deadly monsters.

Description

Rangers can be found wherever civilization borders the wilderness. To aid them in their outback treks, rangers are trained in several combat techniques, survival skills, and even magic.

Type history

The creature type was first featured on Kelsinko Ranger from Ice Age, but in the Grand Creature Type Update the subtype was incorporated into the Human type.

The type was re-introduced in Modern Horizons 2 with the Quirion Ranger and Ranger-Captain of Eos reprints receiving the type,[1] anticipating larger updates for the following Dungeons & Dragons set.

With the release of Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms all cards with "Ranger" in their name received an oracle update:[2]
